Well, I have a digital camera and so I left Austin this past weekend because for the 7th week in a row, rain was predicted. I went to Beaumont to visit with my cousin, an aspiring DJ. I didn't leave until Saturday morning, didn't take long, and we spend a good portion of the day at Bolivar, Point Bolivar, something like that. Then afterwards, we got drunk and he DJed. Then even later, his friend Jason comes over and DJs some too, and then we go to some lame club. Well, the club probably wasn't that lame, but we didn't stay long for 2 reasons... 1. The music wasn't our type of music (I think we arrived too early 10 p.m.) and 2. There was this really young girl bothering my cousin, trying to get him to dance with her and he didn't want any part of that... he won't have anything to do with a chick unless she's pretty good-looking (he got that from me).

Anyway, I took some pics of the Bolivar area, some sucked, ok a lot sucked, but a few are ok by me. I'd been happy even if I didn't get any shots because we had fun. But, I don't have photoshop CS, and I feel like I'm missing out on making some of my shots a lot more polished. I'm new to the digital camera, and autofocus, so it's a little daunting still, and then looking at the price for the electronic darkroom (photoshop) makes me start to gasp. But I love taking pictures, and I think once I get used to the digital camera and start taking better shots, then... nah, I think I still want it because it's practically required if you want to do what I envision, selling photos. Maybe I'll post some here if I take some time to do it.

The Postal Service, heard them on a Grey's Anatomy commercial... so that show will probably be a hit. =) Well, we'll see, but that collaboration of musicians (Gibbard and Tamborello) is really nice. I like Death Cab too, I listen to Transatlanticism or whatever it's called (in my vehicle atm) a fair bit, but there's just something about The Postal Service, positive musical energy perhaps, that's so uplifting, even though a glance at some of the lyrics could make you think they're depressing.
